The fuzzy cat that can’t get enough of scratching under his chin is five years old.

Naturally, there had to be pictures.

"Camera Dad got an acceptable posed shot on my paw print blanket."

"I had been hiding in the basement. I tricked Cat Mom into lookling upstairs. I'm thinking, 'This better be good.'"

"Hey, Cat Mom. What have you got for me?"

"Cat Mom wants some loving. I want presies. Cat Dad yells, 'No," as I try to help groom Cat Mom's hair."

"I smell catnip."

"I am not going to wear that stupid shiny hat."

"Interesting toy, Cat Boy. But I don't like the pink color. I'm a boy!"

"OK. I'll play with the new toy, but the catnip inside smells stale."

Funny thing what Keely Cat will do why you write

on a cat toy.

Of course, it had catnip on it, too, but Keely is wondering where Cat Mommy will buy cat toys when the 75% Crystal Lake city sales tax hike goes into effect.

Will she still find neat stuff like the scratchy toy at Birds and Beasts?

Or will that cheap Cat Dad urge her to look at less stimulating chain stores.

Maybe Cat Dad will make an exception.

After all, his 1992 state representative campaign office was what is now the southern part of Birds and Beasts.
